    DJEMILA

    Djémila (Arabic: ‫جميلة‬, the Beautiful one), formerly Cuicul, is a small mountain village in Algeria, near


    the northern coast east of Algiers, where some of the best preserved Roman ruins in North Africa
    are found. It is situated in the region bordering the Constantinois and Petite Kabylie (Basse Kabylie).
    In 1982, Djémila became a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its unique adaptation of Roman
    architecture to a mountain environment. Significant buildings in ancient Cuicul include a theatre, two
    fora, temples, basilicas, arches, streets, and houses. The exceptionally well preserved ruins
    surround the forum of the Harsh, a large paved square with an entry marked by a majestic arch.
